Description: |
| This course introduces students to the anthropological study of metallurgy. The course begins with the survey of the earliest uses of metals and examines some of the early metallurgical treatieses. Using archaeologically-derived and modern data, we will explore ancient and current mining and extraction techniques. We will also explore the meanings of metallurgical processes as presented in ethnographic accounts. Using information and data derived from scientific inquiry, archaeological excavations, and ethnographies, we will examine basic metal refining and working techniques. Students will also learn to interpret phase diagrams and study microstrutures of metal samples. Part of the archaeology concentration. May be taken as an elective. Cross listed with 0531-444.
